Devon

It's 7am, and we're in the car. She never leaves this early. She's doing this just to spite me because she knows I hate waking up early. But to make her even more upset, I have a smile plastered onto my face.

The windows are open, and the wind blows our hair around. The wind pisses me off, and I press the button, rolling it up. She turns her head lightly but without taking her eyes entirely off the road. She glares at me and rolls it back down. When her hand is removed from the switch, I roll it back up.

"Devon, piss off."

She flicks the child control and locks them on the open setting.

"I don't like the wind this early."

"Awh, is it too early in the morning for someone?" She imitates me with a baby voice.

"Oh, shut up already, Nadia."

I scoff and look out at nothing in particular as we speed down the highway toward a particularly undesirable neighbourhood of the GTA.

I give Nadia the cold shoulder and silent treatment as we get off the highway and travel down a dreary, empty road. In the distance is a police siren, and Nadia attempts to break the tension.

"Uh oh, looks like they found us."

She smacks her knee at her own very awful dad joke. I merely glanced at her with an unamused look before returning my gaze to the road ahead of us. She shakes her head with a sharp exhale and tightens her jaw.

As we pull into the parking lot of a deteriorating building, I ignore her burning stare. Nadia pulls the car to a halt and snatches the keys out of the ignition before turning to face me. I look straight ahead, not caring to have this argument.

"What. What is it, Devon? Are you upset that I wanted to leave early this morning? Or is it because I wanted you to take more time to heal before doing fieldwork?"

"You just disregard everything I say. I clearly am decent at my job, and you won't listen to my advice. I thought that we should have snuck in at nighttime before we came here during daylight. It leaves us exposed, and we don't know what we're walking into."

"Disregard? Are you serious? Devon, I'm sick of this. What do you even want from me?" She asks with exhaustion in her tone.

"What are you talking about? I don't want anything from you." I snap back.

"You're a bitch, you know that?" Nadia mumbles.

"Ooh, scary words from such a small person."

"Point proven, Devon. You do this every single time we start to get close. I let my feelings show, which I don't do easily. But for you? I'm willing to try. I- I don't even know what to say. You are so mean to me. Why? Why do you treat me so poorly? And after last night! Every day is the same. I come home to you. We work together. We have dinner, go to the same bed! I jus-"

"Why am I mean to you? Grow some thicker skin, Nadia.
